Providence-Seton Hall

[tower912]

big east basketball is so physical.   

Lots of fouls being called today.

[tower912]

Can't really tell the difference between Willard and Holloway as far as how SHU plays. 

[tower912]

Richmond for SHU is a match up issue for us.    I hope that Wrightsil is healthy.   MU is going to need the bodies.

Mike Brey agrees.

Mike Brey agrees.

Should have been 2 losses.

[tower912]

Providence still tries to impose its will down low.   

[MarquetteDano]

Providence still tries to impose its will down low.

And a very good offensive rebounding team. Defensive reb not exactly our strength.

[MUfan12]

Hopkins is gonna be a handful.

Our depth will help, but this is gonna be a grind on Tuesday.

[Uncle Rico]

And a very good offensive rebounding team. Defensive reb not exactly our strength.

Yeah, I expect to lose by 20

[tower912]

Having the two teams both wearing dark uniforms seems like a mistake.

[PointWarrior]

Never too early to start the pants pissing on Scoop…

Yeah, I expect to lose by 20

[tower912]

Rico, another one fell for your schtick.

[Uncle Rico]

Rico, another one fell for your schtick.

Schtick?  We don’t stand a chance.  We can’t shoot, rebound or defend

[tower912]

Schtick.   Mocking the mockable.

[NCMUFan]

Hopkins and Croswell will both be a two hand and arm full.
Great challenge for Oso and O-Max.
Looking forward to the gladiation, err I mean game.

[tower912]

Yep.  We know that Providence will pound it down low and crash the offensive boards.   

[PointWarrior]

Well aware of Rico’s schtick. 

The pants pissers here were already worried about Providence the minute the  Creighton game ended.

Rico, another one fell for your schtick.

[tower912]

Providence will be a challenge.  Cooley is a good coach.   If Providence dictates style, they probably win on their floor.   If MU is able to not get crushed underneath, MU probably wins. 
A loss to Providence on their floor is not a season ender.    A win will make me come-out- of-the-stands bat-crap crazy happy.

[brewcity77]

Watching that game, I felt unimpressed. Providence hasn't beat a good team yet. Seton Hall has no offense. In terms of team quality, we should feel good about our chances against either of them.

[tower912]

I agree to a point.  Assuming league road wins rarely ends well.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I agree to a point.  Assuming league road wins rarely ends well.

I think assuming them late has a worse success rate.

[Newsdreams]

Yeah, I expect to lose by 20

Following your advice betting 10k Providence +20

Yeah, it’ll be a laugher for the Friars.  Cooley owns Shaka

[Jockey]

Schtick?  We don’t stand a chance.  We can’t shoot, rebound or defend

And we got a sucky coach.

[Galway Eagle]

Providence will be a challenge.  Cooley is a good coach.   If Providence dictates style, they probably win on their floor.   If MU is able to not get crushed underneath, MU probably wins.

Appreciate what you did there but a missed opportunity to include a reference to the wet court game.

Mopping

[rocket surgeon]

not to fear, shaka-ball is here! 

    watch the disparity in turnovers game over game.  the deflection thing is cool, but the stress shaka-ball puts on our opponents for the first 10-20 minutes adds up.  by the 2nd half, the physical and psychological fatigue sets in.  then we've got 'em.

   shaka has our guys in superb physical condition.  along with a nice rotation, we just keep coming after them.  his varying pressure defenses catch them off guard.  we cannot go into a team shooting blackout(mississippi st) duhhh...yet our defense kept us in it just long enough to pull out of it, but rebounding somehow needs to be addressed

This game still pisses me off. There is no way the refs should have been giving the ball back to Providence, when they slipped on their drives. They were given the ball back out of bounds several times. A team should not be rewarded when their home court has issues.

Some lyrics from an old Paul Simon song come to mind.... Slip sliding awaaay, slip sliding awaaay

Some accurate forecasts in this thread.  No surprises tonight.
